(No model.) Patented in Germany November 4, 188 1, No. 31,710; in Belgium December 1, 11584. No. 67,065); in Austria-Hungary August 10, 1885, No. 29,283 and No. 51,)48, and in England November in, Iss5,

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANTHONY PHILIP LAR- GLLDER, residing at Strashurg, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a new and Improved Exercising Apparatus, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in each of the following countriesto wit, Germany, No. 31,710, dated November 4, 1884:; Belgium, No. 67,065, dated December 1, 1884; Austria, No. 29,283, dated August- 10, 1885; Hungary, No. 51,048, dated August 10, 1885; England, No. 14,524, dated November 26, 1885,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to exercisingmachines, in which the weight to be overcome is always constant, so that the exercise has a uniform effect upon the muscles.

The invention consists in the elements of construction hereinafter more fully pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a side View of my exercising apparatus with the weights removed. Fig. II is a longitudinal central section through the same. Fig. III is a oross'section on the line a: 00, Fig. II; and Fig. IV, an end view of the upper part of the apparatus.

The letters a to represent two tubular sleeves flanged at their ends and provided with two longitudinal perforations. One of these perforations, b, ofsleevea extends entirely through the sleeve, while the other perforation, G, exiends only partly through the same.

b 0 are the corresponding perforations of sleeve a. V

d is a rope rigidly secured with one end in perforation c, thence passing loosely through perforation b, and carrying at its free end a padded adjustable weight, e. A second rope, d, is secured in perforation 0', passes loosely through perforation b, and carries the weight 6.

In use the sleeves a a are moved alternately toward and away from each other, thus lowering and raising the weights. In this way a uniform amount of work is placed upon the muscles of the arms.

I claim as my invention- The combination of sleeves a a with the ropes d d attached to one of the sleeves and passing loosely through perforations of the other sleeve, and carrying weights 6 e, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
